Price of our Peace

Read:  Psalm 15 / Proverbs 21 / Isaiah 25 /John 14

 

Psalm 15:1,2 ~ LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

Proverbs 21:31 ~ The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.

Isaiah 25:8,9 ~ He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces… We have waited for him; we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

John 14:27 ~ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

 

There was a price to grant us peace

That only Jesus could provide. 

The ransom for our soul’s release

Was paid when Christ our Savior died.  

 

Our sins against us were arrayed;

The battle for our peace seemed lost. 

But Jesus said, “Be not afraid,” 

For He would pay redemption’s cost.
